Here’s a Christmas treat, an hour in to Christmas Day in New Zealand. Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas, filmed in 1977 33 days before the crooner’s passing, featured a duet between Bingo and David Bowie.
Taped on September 11, 1977, the special aired after Crosby’s death, on November 30. The set is supposedly the interior of the castle of Bingo’s relative, Sir Percival Crosby. It’s a nice performance from two of the 20th century’s musical icons.
And speaking of David Bowie, the Daily Mail has part one of a new Life on Mars story, written by a ‘Tom Graham’. I know there is Matthew Graham, so this must have been a typo. Graham did, after all, pen an earlier Life on Mars story for the Mail in 2007.
Merry Christmas!
